Death benefits
Death benefits are payments to a spouse, children or other dependents if an employee dies from a work-related injury or illness. This includes reasonable burial expenses, not exceeding $5,000 for injuries before Jan. 1, 2013 and $10,000 for injures on or after Jan. 1, 2013. The amount of the death benefit depends on the number of total and/or partial dependents. In the case of one or more totally dependent minors, after payment of amounts specified below, death benefits will continue until youngest minor's 18th birthday (disabled minors receive benefits for life). Death benefits are paid at the total temporary disability rate, but not less than $224.00 per week. The period within which to commence proceedings for the collection of death benefits is one year from death where death occurs within one year of date of injury (DOI); or one year from date of last furnishing of any benefits or one year from death where death occurs more than one year from DOI. No such proceedings may be commenced more than 240 weeks from the DOI.
| Dates | Burial expenses | 1 total dependents | 2 or more total dependents | 3 or more total dependents | 1 total plus 1 or more partial dependents | 1 or more partial dependents |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| For injuries on or after Jan. 1, 2013 | $10,000 | $250,000 | $290,000 | $320,000 | $250,000 plus four times annual support for partial dependents not to exceed $290,000 | Eight times annual support not to exceed $250,000 |
| For injuries prior to Jan. 1, 2013 | $5,000 | $250,000 | $290,000 | $320,000 | $250,000 plus four times annual support for partial dependents not to exceed $290,000 | Eight times annual support not to exceed $250,000 |

An injured worker is entitled to reimbursement of reasonable expenses of transportation if they have to travel to get treatment for a work injury. Reasonable expenses of transportation includes mileage, parking, and bridge tolls. Mileage for reasonable travel to and from doctors, hospitals, therapy or pharmacy is payable as follows:
| Date | Cents per mile |
|---|---|
| On or after 1/1/2021 | $.56 |
| On or after 1/1/2020 | $.575 |
| On or after 1/1/2019 | $.58 |

| On or after 1/1/2017 | $.535 |
Modification to whole person impairment
Whole person impairment is converted to disability using modifiers in the Permanent Disability Rating Schedule (PDRS). For injuries on or after Jan. 1, 2013, the future earning capacity (FEC) modifier is eliminated and replaced with a 1.4 modifier of the whole person impairment. Therefore, when rating permanent disability, replace the FEC adjustment in the 2005 PDRS, with the 1.4 whole person modifier chart below. Look up the whole person impairment on the chart and read right across for the modified whole person after the 1.4 adjustment. After the 1.4 modification of whole person impairment, use the 2005 PDRS to adjust for occupation and age to arrive at permanent disability.

Statewide average weekly wage (SAWW)
